[TYPO3-typo3org] typo3.org Packages and Download page (continued)

[Francois Suter]

Hi all,

Back to this topic (taking a break from core docs ;-) ):

> Changes are:

There were little reactions to this, which I took as a positive sign, so 
I went ahead and published this new version.

One main remark, which I didn't yet take into account, is to remove the 
download links for TYPO3 4.0 and 4.1, as we shouldn't encourage people 
to start a new site with them. I'm unsure about this, but why not? Other 
opinions?

Then, the Download page (with a refreshed preview link):

There have been no comments on that. Does it mean everybody is happy?

And the famous wording problem. I guess we can get back to it now. 
Here's my proposal:

- Source only
- Skeleton site
- Source + skeleton

What's yours?

Cheers
